Billy Woods has signed for Cork City

It's in one of the tabloids today that Liam Buckley is trying to convince Billy Woods to stay at Rovers. But Billy has just bought a gaff in Midleton and it say he is "more than likely going to Cork City on a free transfer" soon.

Nice one.

Apparently today's Sun reports that Gareth Cronin has been placed on the transfer list - what odds on Cronin and Woods raiding down the left wing for City in the near future?

That really would be something, Cronin and Woods on the left, move Hoggy to right back and Carey to right wing.
Sounds good doesnt it!

No.

Anyway, Gaz left Cork for a job with some firm, not because of football reasons, so he would be more likely to join a Pale team, although it would be nice to see him back with the reds again.

I wouldn't bet against Gaz coming back soon, it's not the first rumour about him coming home.

IMO, if he comes back, we should keep hoggy and carey as full-backs and play Gaz in the centre.

Hoggy is going to be commuting from Dublin soon too. Said in D'Echo that he's doing a course in Dublin.

I'm not gonna question the guys commitment to city for a minute, but I think this commuting lark is a joke. There's no way a player can perform to the same standard as if they're living in Cork.

Well Gaz will be living in Dublin, so its 6 of 1 and 1/2 a dozen of the other.

Commuting every week especially for friday night games will surely be a strain on Hoggy (even if a student) but he seems committed to the city cause so might be ok.

Would think Gaz commuting while holding down a job be very hard.

Well thats the reason he left in the first place. If he wanted to play in the premier division, and none of the Dublin teams got him, Bray or Droghada, even Longford, would be a far easier option than City. He's not comming back soon, face it.

Is always easier said than done. What if the guy has class on a Friday then he can't be going missing every second Friday can he? Depending on the course he doing of course!
